Dear scrappers,

I am sharing with you a hybrid double layout I created using the NitWit collection Tailwags for Connie Can Crop this month.

I call it hybrid because I printed out parts of this cute collection using my ink jet printer and colonial white card stock and cut out elements, which I used as embellishments, borders, and title for this layout.

A closer look to the right side:

To the left side:

I pop up some elements to add some texture:

Added some skinny washi tape to the border:

The sketch is from a "Embellish it" kit.

And don't forget to enter this month's challenge:

For my project, I decided to dust out my Fuse tool:

I made a shaker card with the fuse tool card base and some print out from the NitWit collection
Tailwags

I used some Creative Memories punches to cut out some HEXagons from the cardbase and added
cutouts from dogies printed from the NitWit collection:

I punched some printed buttons and the sentiment for my card:

My fusing skills are still very rough, but I did it ;-), sequins shaker pocket and all.

For the inside I cut out another sentiment from this fun collection:

I hope you enjoy it and decide to participate in this fun challenge.

Best weekend for you all

Here is my project: I used again our sponsor's SVG file: Mini rounded tote TEMPLATE/SVG to prepare for all the goody bags I will make for this thanksgiving:

This are the supplies I used:

To create the descending sun, I used:

Some further picks from my sparkling project:

I dry embossed the treat box with Anna Griffing's and from another company for the wheat on the handles. I added fall ribbon leaves, a shippie (Creative Embellishments) for the fall leave and one for the acorn, which I distressed with TH distressing inks, as shown on a previous picture. And for accenting this glitter paper printed flower some gold sequins.
